Gravestone Photographs

Southard Cemetery, located near the extreme western boundary of the towhship. Can be found at the right angle formed when Ohio 47 turns toward West Mansfield. It is just a little north of Davis Road (County 301) where County Hwy. 259 (Newton-Perkins Rd) ends at Ohio 47. The sign states that the cemetery is on the site of Nations Chapel (1853-1868). Beers 1883 county history states that ". . . when the building became old and dilapidated, it was pronounced unsafe, and the society divided, a fraction affiliating with the Methodist Church at West Mansfield, the remainder forming a new society."
